Einstein Model Light Intermittently shutting off at (model light) full power. 20 seconds later the modeling light comes back on and I can fire a few more frames before it shuts down again.

The strobe is at to 1/2 power or less.
Einstein is near ceiling in soft box, pointing down.
Room temp is 70 F.

Is there a automated shut down of modeling light when unit gets to hot?
Thanks for feedback!

Yes, there is a thermal shut off. Can you hear the fan running? What happens if you reduce model lamp power to, say, -1f?

Thank you! I will try it with the model lamp down -1F.

I think I can hear the fan running...however it's 10 feet up!
